I encourage schools and school districts to partner with Dr. Tim Elmore and Growing Leaders to help both educators and students to enhance their leadership skills. They have inspired our teacher-leaders, applying the 'Habitudes' to our every day classroom situations.

I recommend following what Growing Leaders is doing. They are thought leaders in helping coaches better understand and connect with today’s generation of players. I’m thoroughly impressed by the research, knowledge, and expertise of the Growing Leaders team as they work diligently to help coaches prepare the next generation of students for long term success in life and sport.

Tim Elmore has served on my staff since 1983 and has worked with students even longer. He is able to help you wrap your arms around the subject of leadership. No one teaches leadership better than Tim Elmore. I recommend him as a teacher and a mentor.
